It’s my preferred ‘fast film’ for black and white as it’s got its famous gritty grain and it seems to have slightly punchier contrast than say Ilford’s HP5 (at least the standard way I develop the films). It’s horses for courses though with film - rather than a ‘goat’ … for slow-speed, fine-grain and softer contrast, you need to be using something like Ilford Delta 100 film.
Tri X could be more or less contrasty or evenly toned depending on things as minor as how many times you agitated it when processing. Different developers gave you different results; with experience and care,, you could really master this medium. Choices were further enhanced by the choice of printing papers. Ilford was cheaper and slightly more "forgiving" if you were looking fo uniformity.. At 76, I have no regrets about transiting to digital imaging and printing. Dark room work could be a bitch
My favorite since 1989...

Yes, definitely imho. Used it for over 40 years. Very forgiving apart from anything else…✌️🇦🇺📸

My first roll of TRI-X which was ASA 320
Tri-X is my preference when using Kodak film. It wouldn't be but they discontinued the one I preferred back in 2011.
umm trix developed in d76.1to 1 epeic film and results..
320 TXP is the real Tri-X
I’ve not tried that one yet!!
@@Stringbob they changed the recipe for the 135 some years ago
@@chriscard6544I’ve been looking for the 320 in 120….but can only find the expired rolls. Do Kodak still do it in 120?
@@Stringbob from what I know: No, only film sheets
It is NOT Tri-X! I courls when dry. Useless.
I have noticed that on 35mm before…is it even worse on 120? 🙄
No. It's not the GOAT. It's very good, but frankly most of the fuss is simply hype touted by the fashionistas.
What is your favourite B&W then, I’d love to try it if I haven’t already?
